Study deployed passive water samplers and collected riverine and estuarine bivalves from Oregon Coast watersheds to examine forestry-​specific pesticide contamination.

This case study uses a mixed methods approach to describe this small, specialized fishery and area of coastal habitat.

Researchers conducted and analyzed a public participation geographic information system mapping survey of Oregon residents to capture uses and perceived values of coastal and marine areas.

This study found that neighbors play an influential role in private oceanfront landowners’ decisions to protect their shorelines from erosion and rising sea levels, which could lead to excessive armoring of the coastline.

This paper is about a novel method for propagating red algae that can be automated and potentially used to scale up production.

Research evaluates phenotypic and genetic changes during larval development of Pacific oysters reared in ambient and high pCO2 conditions, both in domesticated and naturalized “wild” oysters from the Pacific Northwest.
